Odd, last time CTC started online so others who received the magazine first didn't receive an unfair advantage AFAIK. Shouldn't it be the same this year?
Yes its same because when we solve the first clue and land on CTC landing page it says : that let the CTC start on 8th June unless every user gets his hand on the magazine
I've just been informed by our circulation team that while most of the copies have reached on time, there are still a few pockets in far-flung areas that haven't got them yet.
I think even sygeek here mentioned something about not getting his copy? There have been a couple of anxious emails as well...
But don't worry we're pushing the first leg to the 11th, just to make it fair to everyone. And yes we have a couple of mag-based clues in there As always we'll have plenty of checkpoints before the mad dash to the finish!

Nice to know the shift in dates. Got a friend's copy fighting for it just for the sake of this is the clue in the main magazine or is it in some supplement like skoar or something? :/ pls help thanks!
Got my magazine just now. [STRIKE]I can't believe they went as far as to implant a fake answer to the clue for those who wanted to go the easy way[/STRIKE].
Hey how do we get to know if we are registered cause i found a page of digit in which we need to input user name and etc. but it repeats to same page when we input data and press register.
Confused.....
Well as it gets closer and closer to the actual launch time, we will be giving out more and more clues so it's up to you if you want to do it the right way or just have it served to you on a silver platter.

Nah, it will not start at 00:00. We are testing the first leg at the moment and are looking for kinks. It will be well within the second half of the day.
We didn't put references to the the registration page anywhere but a few enterprising individuals have actually found the registration page by fiddling around here and there. We're just waiting around for a while before releasing more clues. The first clue is often quite simple so when CTC does begin everyone will know the registration page immediately. Don't worry about that. We want to ensure that CTC is accessible to as many individuals as possible.

Simply google for the CTC Landing page. No need to look for clue.
I took so much time figuring out the 'real' format(it was really easy though in the end) and then is saw someone who came here just by googling.
Try it out yourself good luck.
Don't expect this to work for further clues though, the wizards at digit are not to be underestimated.

This was in one of the 'links'.
You guys have until 6PM to exercise your grey cells. The registration page will be publicised then. And at around 9PM we should hopefully have enough registrations to open the floodgates. There are share buttons on the registration page so do share them as much as possible.
Guys, in the RSS feed 'Just DO it', in the 9th paragraph, in which editorial has Raabo said the same thing before?
Just in case it comes in one of the future clues... This one's going to be difficult to find.

Oh good to know the registration thing is real. When i came across that page, I thought it's something published and I'm the last person. But after seeing some replies looks like i was early bird.

Found the registration page! Voila! It's pretty simple actually... Registration done, 6PM I await you. Once it's public I'm going to bash all my social pages with the link and challenge the hell out of people...
PS: All that publicity only after I get past a couple of clues
Anyways, the site looks good and the rules sound awesome
Nice job Team Digit, finally a site that holds your eyes onto it! Beautiful....
Where's the registration page? The only thing I can see is :
"Welcome to CTC.
The craziness will start on the 11th of June 2015.
We’re making sure that everyone has the magazine in their hands before we start.
See you soon!
Team Digit"
Or you can simply wait for 15-20 minutes and continue trying. The emphasis here is to work towards solving and not randomly trying out different combinations.

thand rakh yar, there are too any people who haven't even begun... let this thing reach the DVD clues.
yes, in the meanwhile, check the DVD's, you might find something useful.
Does the "Indian phone manufacturers" one mean only the ones which are based in India or also the ones who simply sell in India?
Looks like this one's gonna be a long answer.
Did I find a bug or something? I think [MENTION=286780]Adhyayan[/MENTION] knows what I'm talking about. Check PM please [MENTION=276778]tamatarpakoda[/MENTION].
Edit: Maybe I'm wrong, something is not right here.

It is about whether I'll have to type four of the manufacturers... and how will I separate the names? Spaces , commas... what will work?
But I have to find the manufacturers names first of all. Good luck to myself.

There is no fake diversion in the last question, I'm stupid. I thought digit was trolling or something and spent like a couple of hours thinking about it. But I did find one page which is not related with the entire leg at all.

for the Bot one, just press control+A... you will have another hint.
And stumbling on a clue ahead in the game isn't a good thing, you need to solve all of them. You never know when these guys ask you something from the past, and you are left scratching your head.
PS. Even i stumbled on a clue way ahead in this leg, but i stayed on course.
Didn't know how you guys submitted the form previously, since it was bugged.
I submitted the form today, since form was fixed when I woke up this morning.
Someone still stuck at the bot one? And yes, I already saw the hint... Am I missing something... And for the vega one, checking the source code always helps...
To prevent brute-forcing we have a limit to the number of wrong tries that you guys can make. We just increased that limit, however, if someone does try brute-forcing then a perma-ban has been put in place. So be careful when using automated software.

Given the speed at which the page loads, there will be a healthy time period between tries. So humans generally don't get flagged as brute-forcing bots.
Stuck at the one where you have to unscramble all those letters. Anyone finished that? Whats the relevance of 262?
[MENTION=286450]nikh1996[/MENTION] no numbers, no spaces, just the words.
The indian manufacturers one is just really easy. Select the whole thing and look for the clue.
lol [MENTION=77264]Vyom[/MENTION] i know how that works but seriously i just couldnt wake up this morning and [MENTION=315636]amaan#lookingforCTCanswer[/MENTION] check ur PM...
and [MENTION=276778]tamatarpakoda[/MENTION] u sure seem active...any secrets of ur hyperactivity?? and anyone, any help with the half life question would be appreciated :/
[MENTION=276778]tamatarpakoda[/MENTION] are the clues randomly generated for every person..
bcoz i am stuck at the alphabet order clue and some of guyz didnt reach there, but they are on a bot ques which i haven't got yet??
@tamatarpakoda are the clues randomly generated for every person..

i didnt got the futurama one too
i got the kingham image then eight apple in one hand, and then the pic from madmax fury,then indian phone manufacturer now this alphabet order..
Now
BTW [MENTION=276778]tamatarpakoda[/MENTION] I finished the first leg and submitted that form 3 times !!!! But whenever I revisit the page I see the same form again???? Did I do it wrong???
Does the form feel suspicious or is it just me? When you hover over the textbox, it even says some weird stuff.
Edit: Checked it again and now it doesn't say anything when you hover. But, how can the last clue be so easy? There are a few loose ends - what about the indie game and another clue page which isn't present in the current leg.

Im stuck in suzzane vega .I see only "What does Suzzane Vega,Centuries and Compression technology" nothing else.Is the hint incomplete?
And where do i post the answer
Update:
Got it thanks [MENTION=276778]tamatarpakoda[/MENTION]
Stuck with zoidberg!!!
Just confirming if I completed them all. A few pages back [MENTION=316181]jaskirat8[/MENTION] is asking about the 21st question. So maybe I missed something?
Oooohh... maybe but i didnt keep a count...u dont need to and also can someone tell me the wrong answer to one question which took you to a wrong ring...i mistakenly had entered half of the wrong ring but i wanna know all questions of that parallel
- - - Updated - - -
I guess he took the parallel route for himself....else there are 16 answers if I'm not wrong...starting from the answer to suzanne vega and ending on the registration page

- - - Updated - - -
[MENTION=276778]tamatarpakoda[/MENTION] pls confirm my status as well and if im not wrong, if i visit the checkpoint registration page for second time then i see a note written in red color telling me that filling the form once is enough...right??
lel...i already completed the leg so was just wondering where was the answer
btw so without actually getting into the loop...i now have the whole first leg visualized in front of me with all the loops and from suzanne vega to the checkpoint answer B-) nice! #selfObsession
@annoyinKid this is just the beginning life is going to become much more sleepless and much more tough... based on my last experience with CTC, this one just seems to be almost at par with CTC-IV just in the first leg....
[MENTION=276778]tamatarpakoda[/MENTION] [MENTION=1]Raaabo[/MENTION] [MENTION=74291]staticsid[/MENTION] and other team digit guys, gr8 job at designing this one! u guys sure have set up a grand game ahead
Can anyone help me out with this one.."If Anthrax, Metallica...(the big four) are the epitome of thrash metal then what are its equivalents among Indian phone manufacturers?

Thanks [MENTION=316194]darshan1810[/MENTION] otherwise i would've been stuck the whole competition. Still can't believe it was right in front of my eyes.

Stuck on Jayesh one now. Not really a movie person so I am not even sure I have got the hints correct...
Checked the PDFs already (as suggested in this thread and elsewhere).
I done it....Thank you [MENTION=89127]Makx[/MENTION], [MENTION=290508]WhizKID[/MENTION] [MENTION=115173]sygeek[/MENTION], @darshan1810,@Annoyinkid ,@ceroy

First Leg Completed... Thanks to [MENTION=89127]Makx[/MENTION] , [MENTION=290508]WhizKID[/MENTION], [MENTION=115173]sygeek[/MENTION] , [MENTION=316194]darshan1810[/MENTION], [MENTION=315841]AnnoyinKid[/MENTION] , [MENTION=2744]nikhil1996[/MENTION], [MENTION=316187]prashant_heller[/MENTION]
One of the best question in this leg was of Jayesh's Favourite movie character???
Because a year back column turned into an answer...
Good Job Team Digit
Any hints on this one, except from 262?
What happens when you put these in order?
a z i z c e v r i e m v i r c k e l l s d r i c y z l e l j k s t u p r e f g s z v l l m n w x y v w a a h o z h b b
Only next week (this week) is all we know...although we have suggested for weekend or at least Friday night, since everyone can participate better, the final decision is always that of the Editors jokes apart...yes this week, hopefully Friday...waiting...
Oh yeah, finished first leg finally!
Special thanks to: [MENTION=305029]Ceroy[/MENTION] [MENTION=316167]Sapphire[/MENTION] [MENTION=89127]Makx[/MENTION] [MENTION=115911]Niilesh[/MENTION] [MENTION=115173]sygeek[/MENTION]
Waiting for the second one...
Nice to see you guys are enjoying the CTC. We are planning a much bigger second leg which is bound to frustrate you guys a lot more. So be ready and also if you have any more suggestions then I'm just a PM away.
A list of hints for people who are stuck at any point in the first leg.
Clue 1: Look at the source code, specifically for the content that is visible on the page.
Clue 2: Google
Clue 3: This was a quote about _________. Use Google.
Clue 4: Ctrl + A (or Command + A), also Star Wars.
Clue 5: Google
Clue 6: Again, just Google the company names in different tabs. And look for similarities in the cards on the right. Also, write the answer in words. Not numerals.
Clue 7: Google translate, then Google. Who said this?
Clue 8: Google
Clue 9: The answer is literally in the image. Salman Khan hunting controversy.
Clue 10: A riddle too simple. Google
Clue 11: Google. The answer is also a type of engine.
Clue 12: Ctrl + A (or Command + A), also
List of mobile phone makers by country - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Clue 13: Count, and arrange the numbers in such a way. That the ASCII value of the characters are in an ascending order. (It's a simple clue, I had to complicate the hint. )
Clue 14: Look at the column closely. James Bond style.
Clue 15: It's a different type of getting lost. Pay attention to the SOURCE CODE. The answer's in <first name><first character of last name> format
Clue 16: Wikipedia and Google.
Clue 17: Answer the second part (a Google search should be enough).
I think I got the list right, in order. I believe I didn't reveal too much.
Big Thanks to [MENTION=316167]Sapphire[/MENTION], [MENTION=316194]darshan1810[/MENTION], [MENTION=133483]manajit_apocalypse[/MENTION], [MENTION=92599]mukul_rockstar[/MENTION], [MENTION=305029]Ceroy[/MENTION], [MENTION=89127]Makx[/MENTION] all.
Can't wait for leg 2 xD was able to finish or as I should say start leg 1 and know about this competition bcoz of [MENTION=91951]somi96[/MENTION] all thanks to him!
[MENTION=77264]Vyom[/MENTION] Naah the copy protection is just for images you can always use view-source in chrome because context menu overall is disabled and it is done by some framework for the images, guess its probably Wordpress...not sure The comment in source says its just for images
Finally finished the first leg! just in time! thanks to everyone who helped! [MENTION=290508]WhizKID[/MENTION] [MENTION=89127]Makx[/MENTION] @darshan1810 [MENTION=92599]mukul_rockstar[/MENTION]
Where's the protection lol xD Just one small step and you can see the whole source code.
BTW what is the answer format now? ctc.digit.in/leg2/*answer* ??
[MENTION=276778]tamatarpakoda[/MENTION] Is being unable to right click or copy text from the clue pages intentional? Also one of your widgets is not working on the site.
Majority of the discussions are going entirely through PMs. So it is my request if we can keep this discussion public in the forum so other people can also find solutions here. Many people keep PM'ing for the same question which I've answered 10 times already.

[MENTION=276778]tamatarpakoda[/MENTION] any slighest hint with the last clue? I solved the cipher but it's nothing related to it. Maybe something we missed in the cipher?
[MENTION=276778]tamatarpakoda[/MENTION]....i have not reached the last clue but going by everyones description and ur supposed hint and my previous CTC experience I think I know what it could be meanwhile stuck at humanities one, and since this is a loop as most of u have helped me can someone please help me with the chris lee one?? please??
Finished the second leg. Thanks [MENTION=276778]tamatarpakoda[/MENTION]. Didn't think of trying the variations of said device. How many have completed till now?
Thanks [MENTION=115173]sygeek[/MENTION], [MENTION=89127]Makx[/MENTION], [MENTION=91951]somi96[/MENTION], [MENTION=276778]tamatarpakoda[/MENTION]
This one has been a real struggle
Thoroughly enjoyed
Thanks to [MENTION=316194]darshan1810[/MENTION] [MENTION=276778]tamatarpakoda[/MENTION] [MENTION=115173]sygeek[/MENTION] for helping. I guess it wasn't my turn to make it in the top 5 this time. #freakingbsnlinternet :verysad: and happy because i was able to complete it.
ok im going at my own pace but if DIGIT could help me with some good luck then it would be really nice...meanwhile this time i just hope i complete leg 2 in time i got too lazy this time
[MENTION=118334]markerOne[/MENTION] thanks i got past it but yes i could notice it later now on the friend and foe of water question i hope i reach the checkpoint today...figuring out answers on weekdays is hard
[MENTION=115173]sygeek[/MENTION] Everyone got misled by going to Reddit for decoding the ciphertext. The guy there who used more intellligence than smartness made us all happy by giving us the plaintext, so no one bothered to find out what the cipher really was, even if we did, we'd just assume it's a substitution cipher.
PSA: Next time guys, please remember to delete your posts if you ask anything on other sites.
Even I assumed it was a substitution cipher. I solved the cipher before the guy replied. And come on, you can't blame me for "misleading" others through that post. Everyone should think for themselves.
I didn't realise that post showed up on google. Deleted it in the morning.
[MENTION=115173]sygeek[/MENTION] Not blaming, just stating the obvious, that just helped Team Digit in making the leg tougher. Btw, when you delete things on Reddit, first edit the post and remove the text. Using the delete button just removes the username and prevents you from editing the post further, the text is still visible.
[MENTION=276778]tamatarpakoda[/MENTION] Can we get the name of the person who solved the leg before sygeek and Makx? I need to buy some [STRIKE]pitchforks[/STRIKE] flowers.
[MENTION=276778]tamatarpakoda[/MENTION] Can we get the name of the person who solved the leg before sygeek and Makx? I need to buy some [STRIKE]pitchforks[/STRIKE] flowers to send him. People +1 if you want this too.
Could anybody give a clue about the Jayesh one? I started too late. I could not find any answers after trying all names in the column and the hint in the question.

I was actually stuck for a while on it.. I was looking in the wrong direction, i.e. the 1983 review. But then realized DIGIT will not keep it very hard to google. so started searching differently and tried different topics until I hit the answer!
any help on where the 2 authors discussion was recorded?? i tried their university, their pub, the name of the club etc...nothing is working pls help this poor soul

Now I'm stuck on the prehistoric fauna one. I know the animal name. But have got absolutely no clue about the two soundcloud tracks. SoundHound search turned out nothing. Any clues?
I just reached the checkpoint, and I'm stuck with one thing, I never reached the tapanca question and theres a stra next to it indicating compulsory field :/ WTH?? I missed out on something or is it just that I didn't go through a loop so I'm being punished?
Finally! Ok, that stupid spelling mistake did put me off but yeah went across the checkpoint finally so no wasting weekdays, weekend was enough to waste thanks to [MENTION=316194]darshan1810[/MENTION] [MENTION=145324]Ramcool55[/MENTION] [MENTION=276778]tamatarpakoda[/MENTION] and all others who helped...thanks a ton! and thanks to digit for having this crazy thing built up crazier...i can now rest in peace but, I will be back next week!
[MENTION=290508]WhizKID[/MENTION], does it resemble any familiar shape? In fact, you might have used it for a different purpose during your childhood days.
We're busy with the July Digit issue at the moment so it doesn't look like the next leg can be held in one week. You guys will have to wait it out for two weeks. Meanwhile, do send me any feedback that you have. I'm only a PM away.

[MENTION=276778]tamatarpakoda[/MENTION] - First thing's first - Thank you for giving us sleepless nights, making us scour the internet and books, exercise unknown parts of our brain and of course, frustrating us beyond imagination . It's been way too long due - but I can truly appreciate the work and effort put into getting these 2 legs together - Not to mention taking into consideration we are after all, your techie minions of sorts - you'd have to extra crazy and intelligent to make us go through our intellectual paces.
It's been a lot of fun and I'm looking for the final leg in 2 weeks - until then, we'll brood over imagining what devious loops/forks/WTF moments you can come up with.

Oh dear. Thanks anyway for the first difficult leg, and other frustrating yet brilliant leg.
Looking forward for the 3rd one.
I actually have an idea. Why not throw some random (non CTC related) tech puzzles at us, for some random prizes, or probably just a shoutout of names in the mag or name on main site? It will maintain the excitement.
[MENTION=290508]WhizKID[/MENTION] [MENTION=77264]Vyom[/MENTION] and [MENTION=316194]darshan1810[/MENTION] that was one hell of a question!!!!!! thnx!!!

To all CTC players who are yet to reach leg 2 checkpoint, there's a post in here consolidating all the hints for the clues which you come across in both the legs. Kindly look up for it and keep it handy before posting a request for help.
I understand that sometimes even that might not be enough - but it may also help you complete faster. So check them first.
Hi. Stuck on the last clue. the video. solved the code in the video. solved the cipher. But the answers dont work. Is there something more to that clue ?
We have to wait a little while for a few clues to be implemented using tools that aren't available to us. So there's a third party involved at the moment and that brings in a slight delay.
We gave a small CTC booklet with the June issue. You need to Blipp the centre fold using Blippar to begin. That image has been displayed on our Facebook page and also on this site so use Blippar on everything till you can get in.

This leg is a little simpler than the previous one owing to a reduction in the number of people crossing the checkpoint. But we didn't make it too simple.

i do have the booklet, i scanned it, it led me to part of a page. I scanned that page this time and I found "Win at EVERYTHING" which doesn't seem to make sense. Any hints would be appreciated. Thanks
Yes, quite a few have reached the checkpoint but not enough. There are still prizes to be claimed and a few cases that need to be reviewed(a little too much cheating). We will be announcing the winners as soon as enough people cross the checkpoint. xD
I find it surprising that the number of people doing the 3rd leg seem to very low compared to the first 2 legs. I knew the numbers would dip, but the forum discussion paints a different picture..
Maybe people forgot there was a third leg? [Yes, in spite of the reminder email sent]
Hi Guys, need some help with the Lauren Weisberger one. I have tried the name of the famous playwright (as i know his wife's name) but with no use.
Am I missing something ?

[MENTION=316194]darshan1810[/MENTION] i almost completely decoded it, but one of the character seems to be having a mistake...
specifically the 4th character before the 4th slash will give it another shot....and the outcome kind of doesnt make sense....tried anagramming as well....to no use :/

finally crossed the third checkpoint! thanks to @darshan1810 [MENTION=89127]Makx[/MENTION] @AnnoyinKid and [MENTION=314652]kartikeyasrivastava861[/MENTION] for the helps.... [MENTION=276778]tamatarpakoda[/MENTION] can we have the count please?? and yes this one was actually easier, only if i had started on time i wouldnt have felt the pressure and as someone told me the other day to keep calm
Well kartikeyasrivastava861 we decided to leave people like you... Please mind your own business kartikeya and don't try to talk to us. Sygeek this ends here sorry for a disturbance we all caused
Alright.. if we find anyone posting unnecessary offtopic especially inflammatory posts, he/she would invite trouble.
Please bear in mind CTC is just a game. Play it sportively. And don't be rude.
This time CTC was tough for me. I quit after about 5th clue too in 3rd leg. Maybe because of lack of time and maybe since I couldn't find answers to questions which were seemingly should be most obvious I couldn't handle the CTC this time.
So I am grateful for those who actually completed it. Respect.
"Trail of bytes" has me stumped. I must have tried 30 combinations so far but no idea of what the correct answer is. Well, I know what the correct answer is but can't seem to find the correct format. Is the format present in what is pointed at by "a month later, a few years ago"?

thnx [MENTION=276778]tamatarpakoda[/MENTION] .. .. .. it really requires a few more dayz for a few of us.

Reached checkpoint today. Any chances of winning something?or am I too late?and thanks for@Makx and [MENTION=118334]markerOne[/MENTION] for helping me with hints throughout this amazing journey called crack the code V.
I hv not receivd any mail from Digit. Any ideas on my rank? Wouldn't it be easier if you just displayed the result somewhere for now and take ur time to send out individual mails later??
Not yet received any mail,last time I had won a one year subscription to trend micro antivirus for being in the top 100 [MENTION=276778]tamatarpakoda[/MENTION]
Come on! Give me some notification! I'm pretty sure that I''ll get something! Send me a mail Team Digit, or is my email security too tight for your mails to even reach my Junk box? :/

On a serious note, Digit has given prizes after every CTC and I think they'll continue doing so. It looks like there's a delay but I believe everything will get sorted out. You people have no patience.
(Incoming cheesy lines) Even if there are no prizes, does it really matter? I think we all agree that solving the puzzles was a lot of fun and rewarding in itself. You know what I'm waiting for? The next CTC.

Firmly agreeing on your fact! But tell me one thing, when you are told to complete a task with a fruit which you'll get afterwards! And still didn't receive anything! Then??

Can someone from Digit please post a list of the winners? I have completed the darn contest completely and still have no mails from them, if there is some issue with my email filters, at least let me know in here!

Sorry for the delay guys. Basically there are a lot of fake profiles and multiple sign-ups by the same person which we are trying to weed out. That process is time consuming and to add to all of this, there are commitments that need to be honoured if we are to get hold of more sponsors so that we can get you more prizes.
We've sent out the first set of emails to those who've gotten through the last leg of CTC. More emails will follow, addressed to those who've completed the other legs of the competition so don't lose hope yet.
I agree with [MENTION=115173]sygeek[/MENTION]. TBH, I really didn't bother to follow up with DIGIT for the prizes. I knew they would send it out and they already have a lot on their hands (and minds too).
The CTC itself was very well built and I had a real blast careening through it, sniffing on clues and literally scratching my head at 2 AM in the night. Prize or No Prize, It was awesome!!
[MENTION=276778]tamatarpakoda[/MENTION] - Just don't take too long for the next CTC
Got a call today!getting a swiss knife and 8GB pen drive
Expected! Although thanks team digit and team CTC!
It was a real fun playing the game though!
My favourite song
"I tried so hard, and got so far!
But in the end, it doesn't even matter!"
Although a didn't try that hard!
It was asking & telling!
So thanks guys! Credit goes to you!
Got only one small swiss knife which doesn't even have a screw driver its really small,dont know what to say. I expected something big,like last time, I had won an anti virus subscription back then.

Dude if you just Google the cost of the 2 items u got this time, it is more than the stupid AV license from last time. The AV license was virtually useless.
And regarding the Swiss knife, I agree it is a base model and has less number of tools but it is original Swiss. The steel is of the most superior quality. And besides, you are getting so much for just playing a game, be a sport and be proud of your achievement.
With CTC, the prizes don't matter; in fact the I feel the prizes are pretty much for CTC this time. Cheers!
Last CTC I got 5K to spend on gift of my choice for being 3rd, this time just one Mug & Tshirt .... game is just promo thingy not retail as I had expected as collectible so not worth it (was disappointed for getting the game in a simple transparent CD case....no cool graphics and labels ) ........but this time I guess loads of people are getting goodies till 20+ positions so I guess that maybe the reason.
Its nice to see most of us getting these goodies and let us not forget the whole fun during the CTC Journey
Getting prizes has become an uphill task, especially given that CTC requires an above-average level of technical know-how. Brands simply see this as being niche and thus, they don't get enough reach. In the age of YouTube where any brand can get better returns from a single YouTube video, these kinds of competitions simply don't make any sense for them to invest in.
What this means, is next year, we'll have to mix it up and start working on CTC way way in advance.
There were limited number of prizes to give away. Last CTC, only those till rank 3 got decent prizes. Increasing the spread would mean everyone gets little but they get something for their efforts.
Can you please publish the ranks somehwere [MENTION=276778]tamatarpakoda[/MENTION]? That would be helpful rather than telling out our ranks one by one.... Also, that Batman t-shirt Its beautiful Wish I had not been so lazy for the third leg
